About the role

What You'll Do

  • Own Suno's billing systems across web and mobile, including our Stripe and RevenueCat integrations, subscription lifecycle, and usage metering.
  • Lead the evolution of our billing architecture — including an in-progress migration to a modern ledger-based model — making it more maintainable and easier to reason about as the business grows.
  • Participate in product and strategy discussions about how Suno monetizes, bringing technical judgment to decisions that have direct revenue impact.
  • Build tools and systems that give the broader team more leverage.

What You'll Need

  • 5+ years of backend engineering experience, ideally building systems where being wrong has immediate real-world consequences — payments, financial infrastructure, distributed systems, or similar.
  • A natural instinct to think about failure modes first: what happens if this event arrives twice, out of order, or not at all?
  • Strong product sense alongside technical depth — you care about what users experience, not just what the code does.
  • A high bar for correctness that you hold yourself and others to without being told.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

Experience with Stripe is a plus. A love for music is a huge plus.
